Soup: Bowls and Spoons

It's just possible I've been a little too focused this winter on the SOUP. But, then again --

For me,a big part of the pleasure of soup comes from having the perfect bowls, the perfect spoons, and a nice cloth napkin. I love all of that...and WHAT'S THE POINT IN HAVING ALL THAT, IF YOU DON'T USE IT??

My favorite soup bowls are heavy and flat, with a blue sponge background, and a winter log cabin scene. (microwaveable, of course.)

I was told there was flatware that matched my soup bowls -- so I am on the lookout!! But, in the meantime, I found soup bowls, with the same wonderful shape -- but a different picture. A snowman!!

The shape is identical -- so they stack beautifully...and I love these bowls. The different scenes make it so much fun...and now I have about 20 of them...

And the spoons, of course, must be in an actual SPOONER..!! This unusual spooner is a totem face.

I have a beautiful little collection of spooners. This one (a favorite) has a crack in the bottom -- which just makes me love it all the more.

But I have so much flatware, I make spooners out of small vases, or crocks, or giant mugs...anything will do.
